A Blood Angels Marine shares a human moment with a fleeing mother and her daughter.
A new Artwork for you all. This is a portfolio peice thats taken a while to finish between other things.
I'm quite pleased with this, the lighting being great fun to mess with.
I wanted to show that a Space marine is meant to be something like 9 foot tall after all the genetic manipulation that have, so putting one next to a normal human mother and her daughter really brought that comparison home.
I liked drawing the little space marine plush toy the girl has in her hand. Kind of a nice little story there as the girl, who's been playing with her teddy, final meets the real thing and is awe struck by it.
Enjoy
EDIT: Wow, thanks for the DD and all the lovely comments. Really appreciate them. Thank you!
EDIT 2: Worked on the woman a little more to improve her Proportions. Not perfect, but better.
EDIT 3: NOW AVAILABLE AS A PRINT.
Had a lot of really cool comments about this Image, which I really, really appreciate.
Now, if only someone would rave about it to Games Workshop! Hint...!

Ran across this while going through my old faves.
When I favorited this 13 years ago, I had little to no idea what Warhammer 40K was. Now 35+ years old and with some knowledge of tabletop systems, this piece hits a lot more to home.
I casually enjoy 40K jokes, not a player or a devotee to the franchise. But there's an emotional something that still rings in the piece, that seems to rise above the grimdark that the setting's known for. Also for some reason, Mr. Space Marine reminds me of the protagonist of an old retro 90's DOS game. I think it's the way the face is chiseled and illuminated.
